KLIPSPRINGER A CLIMBER
TOPI IS PURPLE ANIMAL HERTEBEESTS ARE SPRINTERS GNU IS A HORNED-HORSE MANY OTHER MARVELS.
Washington, Jan. 24. The many specimens of skins and skulls that have come to the National Museum Irora the Smithsonian African expedition under Col. Theodore Roosevelt
have brought to light Epme names of animals that frequently fail to in any way identify the beast. Of this character are 'klipspringer, topi, hartbeest, wildebeest, gazella, impalla, dikdik, otocyon and perhaps cony. A brief description of the animals which these names represent may be found interesting. Hill-Climbing Klipspringer. The klipspringer, called kainsi by the Hottentots and klip-bok by the Boers, is a small antelope that is widely distributed through South Africa. It may be found up the east coast through the province of Mozambique and is plentiful in northern Xanibest, but in Cape Colony they are not as numerous as formerly. They cannot run quickly on level Bround, but when climbing a hill their marvelous agility is apparent. They will race up the smooth face of slippery rocks, so steep that no animal other than a baboon could find a footing there. It is their fondness for a rocky country that has led to their being called the "chamois of Africa." Klipspringer stalking in Africa is a pretty tfport, affording healthful exercise, frequently amid charming scenery. Purple-Tinted Topi. The topi, according to some writers "is nominally, a hartebeest." That is. it is something like an antelope and yet much heavier, having to a certain extent characteristics that ally it to the family that includes the bovine species. It is a good-sized beast and sturdily built and has a beautifully shaded skin of purplish tint, with a sheen on its coat which lights, like shot silk. Its distribution is curious and it is found near the coasts, and also far in 1 he interior and yet there are wide regions where it is unknown. The flesh of the topi is excellent, furnishing the best meat for eating in some parts of Central Africa. Swift-Footed Hartebeests. The hartebeests are large antelopes that go about in herds and are swift. There are many varieties, although Ihey are usually classified as hartebeests proper, bastard hartebeests and gnus. Among the bastard hartebeests are the topi, already mentioned, the korrigum and the tiang. The hartebeests are all more or less ungainly looking ruminants of comparatively large size, with naked muzzles, small glands In the face below the eyes, and large-valved nostrils, of which the lower lids are covered with
a number of short, bristly hairs. They have longtufted or hairy tails and have peculiarly angled horns set at the extreme top of a long face. In color they are either uniformly brown, or similarly colored with the addition of blackish or purplish patches on the face, shoulders, hind quarters and lower portions of the limbs. They are sometimes domesticated, but usually are hunted for their flesh, which resembles beef. Brindled and White Tailed Gnu. The wildebeest is better known as the gnu. There are the brindled species and the white-tailed gnu, with three distinct varieties of the first species. Wildebeests are described as grotesque-looking ruminants with disproportionately large heads, distinguished from other genera of hartebeests by the tufts of hair on their faces, their maned necks, broad muzzles, doubly curved smooth horns and long
Dr. Edward Anthony Spitzka, the noted professor of anatomy in Jefferson Medical college, who in a recent address before the Clerical Brotherhood of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, declared that suicide and the deliberate hastening of death by a physician were justifiable under certain very rare circumstances. The doctor believes that a captured spy has a right to poison himself rather than be hanged, and a physician has a right to morphine a man to death in the case of a railroad accident, where a more lingering death cannot bo avoided.

horse-like tails. Their ground color varies .from gray to dark brown, with or without transverse stripes, the long hair of the mane and tail being either black or white. From their peculiar appearance they have often been called horned horses. Graceful Little Gazella. Gazella is the name of a group of graceful little antelopes which are commonly known as gazelles, from the Arabic name of one of the species. They are found in the more open districts of Africa and are divided into about fifteen distinct species. Generally the color is sandy above and white below. In all the African species the face is marked with longitudinal dark and light streaks. Tufts of hair are usually developed on the knees. The tail is of medium length in the African species. Agile and Timid Impallas. Inipallas, or something simnlv Dal
las, is the name given to certain an
telopes. There are two African spe
cies known to science, the common
Impalla and the Angolan impalla. Their general color is bright reddish brown, but paler along the lower part
of the sides.
The horns of the impallas are particularly graceful. They extend con
vex below and concave above, spread
ing evenly. They are described as most graceful and agile creatures. They display great activity when alarmed, flying through the scrub and boundine hitrh
over bushes, one after another, as the
herd follows its leader in his headlong course. If surprised at close quarters in thick cover the bush becomes suddenly alive with them, several often being in the air simultaneously in their first bewildered- fright. Long-Nosed Dik-Dik. Dik-Pik is the name given to a curious group of little antelopes which may be distinguished from all other forms by the more or less marked elongation of the muzzle, almost entirely covered with hair, and the presence of a tuft of long hair on the crown of the head. The tail is so short as to be almost rudimentary. The lateral hoofs are small. Seven distinct species are known. They stand about fifteen inches in height. Otocyon, Boka and Cony. The otocyon is a small carnivorous animal quite like a fox. There are several species of this animal. One, called octocyon virgatus, is generally of a bright buff color and is new to science. Its skull is said to closely resemble that of the crav fox
of our native fauna.
The many kinds of boks, such as the blesbok. bontebok. rhebok and others, are almost all antelope or deer-like animals that have been so named by the Boers. Of similar characters are the bucks, such as the bushbuck, reedbuck, waterbuck, etc., the name of which suggest English origin. The cony is a small animal with fleshy pads in its toes by means of which it can climb trees. Although comparatively small, being only about the size of a woodchuck, nevertheless it has much the same structure as such large animals as the rhinoceros. The cony is of interest on account of having been frequently mentioned in the Bible. It occurs only in Syria and certain parts of Africa,

HOTEL FOR WOMEN
Boston Organization Starts a Movement for Quarters For Workers.

Prudence. Prudence is common sense well trained in the art of manner, of discri mi nation and of address.
Boston, Mass., Jan. 24. At a joint meeting of the "Woman's Industrial aud Rescue League and the Woman's Homestead association, held a short time ago, a movement to provide a hotel for industrial women was organized, with Miss Harriet R. Farrar as president and Mrs. J. D. Adams secretary. The Rev. Herbert Johnson, pastor of the Warren Avenue Baptist church, was elected president of the building fund committee, and the Rev. W. P. McQuade, pastor of St. James' church, was elected treasurer. lrj statistics given out at the meeting in regard to the comparative provision of Boston for girls dependent upon their own efforts to live it is asserted that this city has 75,000 home
less women who live in lodging houses. Department stores and other employers prefer girls who live at home, and orphans and others who have no home have' no protection and a poor class of employment. New York has ten modern hotels and flat houses for this class of women who receive less than ten dollars a week. Providence has two such hotels. The board and room charge at these hotels is from $1.30 to $3 per week. Boston, it is said, has fewer hotels for industrial women than any other city in the United States. Rents are higher and accommodations are poor
er. Unsanitary buildings bring high
er rent than elsewhere, yet the class of women mentioned are obliged to live in them.
THE BEST MAN.
At One Time He Was More Useful Than Ornamental. Do you know how "the best man," who plays so important a part In marriages that have any pretense to be fashionable, once upon a time in Sweden occupied a position that was useful as well as ornamental? In olden days the Swedish briderrroom found it desirable, in fact, to tave several "best men" to defend him from the assaults of rivals and prevent them from carrying away his bride. The Scandinavian warrior of ancient times was far too lofty in his ideas to condescend to plead for a maiden's hand. So he patiently waited until some other man who was more gallant had obtained the fair one's consent. Theu when all the details had been nicely arranged the proud warrior, with a body of well trained retainers, dashed down on the wedding party and. if strong enough, carried away the bride. The "best men" (and It was very. essential that they should be the best men in those dnysi therefore became
necessary nxturfcs to marriage monies, and they were so well esteemed and their popularity became so permanent that when the reason for their existence was in course of time removed they were still retained. rearson's Weekly.

Talk Killed a Bear. "I suppose," said the barber to the man who was weariug a bear's claw on his watch chain "1 supiose you killed that boar yourself?" "Yes. I did." was the reply. "Was it a grizzly bear?" "It was." "A big one?' "About the size of a two-year-old steer." "Gee whiz! How many bullets did It take to kill him?" "Not any at all." "Brain him with an ax?" "No; I talked him to death." It took the customer fifteen minutes to get the rest of his shave, and during that time the barber didn't speak another word. Exchange.

Decide Yourself The Opportunity Is Here, Backed by Richmond Testimony. Don't take our word for it. Don't depend on a stranger's statement. Read Richmond endorsement. Read the statements of Richmond citizens. And decide for yourself. Here is one case of it: John Morris, 4334 Main Street, Richmond, Ind., says: "For several years I suffered from backache, the attacks often being so severe that I could hardly straighten. The kidney secretions were at times profuse, while again scanty, plainly showing that my kidneys were disordered. I finally decided to try a kidney reruedy and began using Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at A. G. Luken & Go's Drug Store. They helped me after other preparations had failed. At that time I told of my experience in the public statement and now I gladly confirm all I then said. I have had only one occasion to use Doan's Kidney Pills since my first trial of them and I am glad to say that the results were as satisfactory as before. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
